At the moment I've got quite a good routine as to where I ijnect:

breakfast - right thigh
lunch - stomach
tea - left thigh
BI - bedtime - buttocks
any extra injections - stomach

the problem site is the buttocks site - even though I know you don't have to turn right round It's still quite hard sometimes to twist and reach this site so does anyone have any ideas for another good site routine for me?

You shouldn't need to twist to inject in the buttocks Gill, I inject there and just stab it in, no pinching or anything needed as there is plenty of flesh to inject into - so can just do it one-handed 🙂

I'll give it another go tonight but with no twisting involved 🙂
